Druimruadh, Birchburn Road, Aultbea, Achnasheen

A spacious three-bedroom bungalow with generous gardens, substantial outbuildings and scope for a variety of uses, set in the attractive Highland village of Aultbea on the shores of Loch Ewe.

Offering approximately 108 sq m (1,163 sq ft) of accommodation, this well-proportioned semi-detached bungalow provides considerably more space than its modest exterior might initially suggest. The accommodation is practical and flexible, with three bedrooms, a generous lounge, kitchen/diner, sunroom, WC and bathroom, making it equally suitable as a comfortable permanent home, a Highland retreat or a property from which to pursue a lifestyle or small business venture.

The lounge provides a particularly welcoming heart to the home, with its substantial stone-faced fireplace and multi-fuel stove, while the kitchen/diner offers generous space for everyday living and entertaining. The sunroom provides an additional versatile living space with direct connection to the garden.

Outside, a large mature garden provides considerable space for outdoor living, gardening, recreation or simply enjoying the peace and character of the surrounding area. There is private parking and a patio area, together with a substantial stone-built former byre/workshop which provides an unusually large amount of additional space for storage, workshop activities, hobbies or other purposes. Subject to the necessary planning and other consents, the outbuilding may also offer potential for alternative or complementary uses.

For someone seeking more than simply a house, this property offers the ingredients to create something tailored to their own requirements. The existing accommodation provides a comfortable foundation, while the garden, substantial outbuilding and additional land create scope for work, leisure, enterprise or future development, subject of course to the relevant permissions.

Aultbea sits on the shores of Loch Ewe in Wester Ross, surrounded by some of the spectacular coastal and mountain scenery for which the north-west Highlands are renowned. The area offers excellent opportunities for walking, fishing, sailing and exploring the many beaches and landscapes of the region, while the village itself provides useful everyday amenities and services.

Whether you are looking for a permanent Highland home, a base from which to enjoy the outdoors, a property with substantial workshop or hobby space, or an opportunity to develop something of your own, this is a property with considerably more to offer than first meets the eye.
